Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMMANDY VALENTINENever taking themselves too seriously, Philadelphia-based 6+ piece Mandy Valentine brings a new approach to some classic country and rock & roll themes. With galloping rhythms, close harmonies, and lyrics like, “I see a whippoorwill, oh, start to fly and feel so lonesome, baby, I could cry”, Mandy Valentine evokes mid-century country icons such as Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, and the Everly Brothers while treble-drenched guitars, female-forward vocals, and catchy hooks recall 60s pop like the Shangri-Las and the Orlons. Put together, Mandy Valentine is “a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll”. Mandy Valentine is the newest project from a crew of mainstays in the Philly DIY scene–fronted by singer-songwriter Missy Pidgeon, Mandy Valentine also features Abbey Heier and Delaney Keefe on percussion/vocals, Sam Perduta on guitar, Jay Johnson on bass, and Mattie Kimi Klauser on drums. They bring their experience to the stage, with a relaxed confidence that makes every performance feel as intimate as a barnyard dance. MV self-released their first record, Baby!, on February 24, 2023 and shortly after began a month-long residency at Tin Can Bar in Port Richmond. MV has plans to release their first EP, Gone West, in 2024 and will continue to work out of Tralfamadore in South Philly with Klauser leading production. To give a taste of what’s to come, MV released two singles, “Run, Rabbit, Run” and “Lonesome”.Spotify | InstagramNOBODY JONESUnreal CountryInstagramYER FLOWERSYer Flowers are a Knoxville-based band of punks making country and rock n roll music that doesn’t spare the grit and flare. They create a fresh, fun, and bold sound that’s as colored by history as it is rooted in this moment, scoring lyricism which reveals a fractured existence that can only mend by leaning into the tears…and the arms of a hot date. A band for the good and the bad times, they’re a growth of budding flora fed by the same river that baptized Dolly—a sensual journey of becoming that’d behoove ya to tag along for!The band formed in the spring of ’22, released its first two singles later that year, then quickly began gigging regularly throughout the Southeast with periodic stints up the east coast. 2024 has been the band’s biggest year yet: the release in May of their debut EP Hot Dirt coincided with a string of dates through May and June that included an appearance at Bonnaroo. With more touring scheduled throughout the year’s remainder, recorded material in the works, an ever-growing catalog of original songs, and one hot bunch of pickers to move it forward, this band is steadily growing its name as a unique and refreshing voice in country and rock n roll.Spotify | Instagram

billy woods ~ Kenny Segal
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMbilly woodsNew York-based rapper billy woods is highly praised for his complex, literate rhymes and inventive flows, accompanied by boundary-pushing production. The enigmatic rapper frequently obscures his face in press photos and issues all of his music on his own label, Backwoodz Studioz. He began releasing albums in the early 2000s, with two solo efforts preceding material as part of supergroup the Reavers and duo Super Chron Flight Brothers. However, he was largely unknown until his 2012 solo album History Will Absolve Me began receiving attention. His profile has continued rising, with albums appearing nearly every year since. 2019’s Hiding Places (with Kenny Segal) and 2020’s BRASS (with Moor Mother) are two of his most praised releases, in addition to numerous albums with E L U C I D as the duo Armand Hammer. In 2022, woods addressed subjects related to history and religion with the full-lengths Aethiopes and Church. Maps, a travelogue based on woods’ touring experiences, appeared in 2023.https://open.spotify.com/artist/39vtb2iiz3079nqfL5nfFc?si=hBaQt1D5QwuQMgyHG693nQKenny Segalhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/13vr2QqzoWOWDyaAZDuEGO?si=01ihDSa_TjC63E2Uz8yZxw

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMRUDY DE ANDASince 2005, De Anda has played thousands of concerts in various musical projects, but with “Tender Epoch,” which was the first album he recorded under his own name, he clearly found his own voice, with a lot of stories to highlight. This is exquisitely crafted pop, with universal messages of heartbreak and loss that are still appropriate if played at full speed on the freeway in the coastal sun. Carving his own path through a wild ride that just won’t seem to let up, De Anda refuses to get comfortable or comfortable, and instead has created a classic album that will undoubtedly set a standard for songwriting in the future.https://open.spotify.com/artist/4zAauwbGLs7vAEzfJEklGF THE JACK MOVESAcross their self-titled debut effort, Newark, NJ based duo The Jack Moves captured the duality of the city’s existence, from the crummy and rude glory hole bandits of Penn Station to cherry blossom park lovers north of the city. The seaside soul meets skate-punk funk narrative was artfully carried forward on the band’s sophomore offering Free Money, which was named one of 2018’s best albums of the year by KCRW.https://open.spotify.com/artist/6QR60hk0TiNHphDexqZ6Pp?si=O5c5zSLaT32QxKPFDtIItA

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMUnder the Rug Under The Rug, the Austin, Texas-based indie outfit, has crafted a unique, heart-on-sleeve musical journey over their decade-long career. Led by the dynamic trio of vocalist and guitarist Casey Dayan, alongside the deft musicianship of guitarist Sean Campbell and drummer Brendan McQueeney, the band seamlessly blends an eclectic mix of indie, folk, and Americana, all while remaining steadfast in their commitment to the art of storytelling. Known for their DIY marketing efforts, the band has built a fierce and dedicated fan base through direct-to-fan handwritten letters and their membership service, The Secret Hideout. Their dedication to songwriting as a craft is evident, delivering earnest tracks that resonate with listeners worldwide. Whether performing at sold-out shows or writing on the go in their beat-up van, the band continues to resonate with fans, capturing both hearts and imaginations. Under The Rug has garnered cheers from American Songwriter, Rolling Stone India, Atwood Magazine, and even received a co-sign from The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle. Building on the success of their acclaimed Junior LP, Homesick For Another World, and the viral sensation of their hit single, “Lonesome and Mad”—which topped Spotify’s search charts in the US and continues to dominate virality playlists in numerous other countries—Under The Rug is set to sustain their momentum. The band eagerly anticipates their upcoming release, happiness is easy, and is preparing for their headlining US tour in support. Under The Rug’s upcoming release, happiness is easy, is a sprawling 2-part, 30-track exploration of the challenges of pursuing happiness, delivered with the band’s signature irreverence, irony, and dark humor. Produced with the help of David Peters, and featuring co-writers like Sam Hollander (Panic! At the Disco, Fitz and the Tantrums) and Mason Jennings, the album blends poignant personal themes with universal questions on life and fulfillment. With songs like lead single “mad girl’s love song,” an interpretation of Sylvia Plath’s famed villanelle, title track “happiness is easy,” and “i don’t want to cry in my car anymore,” each offering a tongue-in-cheek look into the headspace of lyricist Dayan, the album navigates topics such as self-discovery, authenticity, drug use, and loneliness, while providing moments of levity and insight. Dayan wrote happiness is easy as a reflection on coming to terms with identity and the pursuit of joy in a complicated world. “It’s the least fictional thing I’ve written,” she reveals. The album is filled with gentle arpeggios, evocative lyrics, and piercing guitar melodies that reveal the band’s growth and commitment to authenticity. It’s not just a meditation on personal struggles but also a search for meaning and connection in the modern age. https://undertherugmusic.com/ Basic Printerhttps://www.basicprinter.com/

Like The Ronettes meeting The Ramones at a wild party at Gold Star Studios´ echo chamber!New album “Back in Mono” is out on legendary Damaged Goods Records, London.https://www.thecourettes.com/musicThe Out-SectThe members of The Out-Sect all met while living in a Philadelphia junkyard. On weekends, they would gather to drink beers inside a broken down 1982 GMC Caballero with a copy of Back From The Grave stuck in the car’s cassette player. Instantly being drawn to the trashy sounds of those pimple-faced mid-60s punks, they figured they could write a song half as good as any of them. And that’s just what they did! Using instruments they found in the trash, the band has managed to write a handful of deranged “songs” that will leave you asking yourself “What is that smell?” and “Dear god, can they just stop playing?”https://theoutsect.bandcamp.com/album/the-out-sect-epThe Falling OutBorn of Philly/Jersey acts The Improbables, The Justines, The Blessed Muthas, The Tone Bandits, The Flyswatters, The Midnight Beat, etc., The Falling Out keeps it simple with strong vocal harmonies and healthy helpings of reverb, fuzz, and ass-shake.https://thefallingout1.bandcamp.com/album/the-falling-out

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PMDave Kiss & Hostile City Oi Council Present: GiudaGiuda is a five-piece band from Rome, Italy, that play an air-punching mix of anthemic ‘70s rock hooks delivered with the brutal force of early UK punk, all interpreted in a contemporary and original way with relevance for today’s discerning listener. The story of Giuda begins in 2007 and is inextricably connected with that of Rome’s seminal punk rock band Taxi. When Taxi’s career was cut short by the tragic passing of their drummer, singer Ntenda, lead guitarist Lorenzo and bassist (then drummer) Danilo regrouped as Giuda. The lineup is completed by guitarist Sergio, adding a second layer of boogie sparks to the mix, and new drummer Alex, who replaced Daniele. Fuelled by the sounds of bands like Slade, Glitter Band, Hector, Third World War and Slaughter & The Dogs, Giuda offer fresh, powerful rock and roll with attitude in spades. Their debut album “Racey Roller”, famously described by Robin Wills (The Barracudas) as, “Cock Sparrer twinned with the Equals”, was graced with iconic cover art courtesy of French designer and glam fanatic Tony CrazeeKid, and quickly became an underground sensation. Highly praised by publications as diverse as Mojo, The Guardian, Uncut, Rolling Stone, Vice (album of the year) and Maximum Rock’n’Roll, the album remains a true cult classic and an inspiration to the numerous hordes of bovver rockers currently following in Giuda’s wake.Doc RottenDoc Rotten formed in Trenton, NJ during the Winter of 2017.

The band writes hooks that ferve as soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe. The audience is more family than a fanbase. “Reach for the Sun” is the record that “shot them into the pop-punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems, the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s “War Paint” was a sophomore-slump-smashing follow-up. Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic and addictive. 2019’s “Mother Nature” conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky. Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s “Coming Home” ushers in a new era for TDS.
